- Alexia Moore, 31, received bond Monday in Camden County, with $1 set on the malice murder count and $2,000 total on two drug charges.
- Prosecutors agreed she was entitled to bond that she could pay, according to the Georgia Public Defender Council.
- Police say Moore went to a hospital on December 30 and told staff she took misoprostol ordered online and an unprescribed oxycodone, and investigators say an infant delivered alive lived about an hour at an estimated 22 to 24 weeks.
- She faces a malice murder charge tied to the newborn’s death and separate counts of possessing controlled substances, including oxycodone and misoprostol.
- No indictment has been sought as of now, the defense has moved for a speedy trial, and coverage splits between outlets highlighting a rare prosecution linked to alleged abortion and voices stressing she is not charged under Georgia’s 2019 abortion law.
